Ultherapy is a non-surgical face and neck treatment

that uses ultrasound to actually lift and tone loose or

sagging skin without any downtime.

Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment that can

specifically target the deep foundation below the skin

that is addressed in cosmetic surgery without cutting

or disrupting the surface of the skin. It is also the only

procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows us

to actually see the layers of tissue we target during

treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely

to where it will be most effective.

Ultherapy uses tried-and-true ultrasound technology,

which has received FDA clearance for use in this new

type of medical procedure to lift skin on the brow,

neck, and under the chin.

Ultherapy deposits focused ultrasound energy below

the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s creation

of new collagen. As a result, skin will actually begin to

lift and tone over time.

Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its

youthfulness by keeping it firmed, toned and elastic.

As we age, collagen loses its elasticity and its ability

to stand up to the effects of gravity that pull the skin

downward. Ultherapy jump starts a natural repair

process that produces fresh, new collagen.

No. Unlike a face lift, Ultherapy is a non-invasive

procedure that addresses the skin and support layers

below it, but doesn’t entail cutting or disrupting the

surface of the skin.

Ultherapy is an “uplift” not a “face lift.” While it is not

a replacement for surgery, it is a viable option for

those not ready for a face lift or those looking to

prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.

Ultherapy 不能取代手術

Lasers typically address issues in the superficial layers

of the skin (e.g. fine lines, wrinkles, pigment changes).

Ultherapy addresses the deep skin layer and the

foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery that

lift and lend support to the skin. Therefore, the two

technologies are quite complementary!

The procedure has been cleared by the FDA after

demonstrating safety in clinical studies, and over

100,000 treatments have been performed safely

worldwide. In addition, ultrasound energy has a

proven track record, with use in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.

A good candidate for Ultherapy is someone with skin

that has "relaxed" to the point of looking, and often

feeling, less firm. Sagging skin on the eyelids, on the

neck or under the chin, for instance, are often the first

signs of “maturing” skin. Typically, those in their

thirties and older who have mild to moderate skin

laxity are candidates.

While Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical

face lift, there are many people who want some lifting

but are not ready for surgery, either mentally,

financially or logistically. There are also younger

people who want to “stay ahead of the game” as well as those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery. 

A full face and neck treatment takes 60-90 minutes,

and a partial face or brow lift treatment can take

around 30 minutes–neither with any downtime.

Ultherapy addresses mild to moderate loose or

sagging skin on the face and neck. Specifically, by

reconditioning and renewing the skin from within,

Ultherapy will lift the brow, which in turn reduces

excess skin on the lids, opens up the eyes, and gives

a more refreshed look overall. Ultherapy is also used

to lift and tighten sagging skin on the neck and under

the chin, addressing the “turkey gobbler” and “double

chin,” which many patients are trying to eliminate.

Patients may enjoy some initial effect but the ultimate

lifting and toning will take place over 2-3 months, as

tired collagen is replaced with new, more elastic

collagen. As this collagen-building process continues,

further improvements can appear up to 6 months

following a procedure.

Patients treated with Ultherapy still have fresh young

collagen after a year’s time following the procedure,

but skin continues to age. Future touch-up treatments

can help keep pace with the aging process, which

varies by individual.

The majority of patients only need one treatment;

however, some may benefit from more than one

treatment (depending on how much laxity they have

and their body’s own biological response to the

ultrasound and collagen-building process). Your

physician will be able to recommend the right

treatment plan for your needs.

Ultherapy is an entirely non-invasive procedure and

as such, there is no downtime. You are able to return

to your normal activities right away, and there are no

special measures you need to take.

Yes. What you are feeling during the treatment is

actually tiny amounts of focused ultrasound energy

being deposited below the surface of the skin.

Patients have noted there can be some discomfort

while the ultrasound energy is being delivered, but it

is temporary and a positive signal that the collagen-

building process has been initiated.

Comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient, but

there can be some discomfort while the ultrasound

energy is being delivered. This is temporary and a

positive signal that the collagen-building process has

been initiated. Patients typically leave comfortable and

excited about the benefits to come!

Exciting advancements have recently been

implemented, including a new-and-improved

treatment approach that is proven to increase patient

comfort of the procedure without impacting efficacy.

Of course, your practitioner will consult with you prior

to your skin treatment to make your experience as

pleasant as possible.

There may be slight redness for up to an hour or so

following the treatment, and a small percentage of

patients may have slight swelling, tingling or

tenderness to touch, but these are mild and

temporary in nature. There is always the possibility

for other less common post-procedural effects, which

your practitioner will review with you.
